Rich, I'm not sure if it was an American invention, We never had weiners in them, but the thin beef, rolled with thin slices of dill pickles and Bacon is where pigs in the blanket came in.

My mom made them with round steak - wrapped in bacon, but I think there was only onions in the inside. Her mom was Polish - my dad's side was more German - I'm not sure if she got this recipe from her family or his. I should ask this :) Thank you!

Sounds like the German Rouladen, long, thin steak slices wrapped around mustard, onion, bacon, salt, pepper. Bake it in the oven in beef broth. It's fantastic. ----- Original Message ----- From: <Julie.Hornung@AlconLabs.com> To: <polandbordersurnames@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, July 16, 2007 10:44 AM Subject: Re: [PBS] Pig in the blanket > My mom made them with round steak - wrapped in bacon, but I think there > was only onions in the inside.

Al Wegner Rouladen came from Germany. It is beefsteak pounded thin, spread with hot mustard, chopped onions and slice of bacon. Then a dill pickle (small, or quarter a large one) was laid across one end, and then you rolled up the meat with the filling. Then you took string, tied it together at each end. Brown them and then add water & bake them. While you are baking them (in a roaster with the lid on) add sliced celery, carrots and parsnips. When the meat is done, take a sieve and run the "gray" through it, mash the vegetables through it, and then thicken the gravy. Add salt. These were traditionally served with potatoe dumplings.
